South Humberside memories
Greenside
I used to live in the house to the right of this photo [not shown] in the 1960s. It was a big river to a 9yr old and the fun my sisters and I used to have was in my mind a lot better than p/stations. It was a super village and I hope it still is. Best regards - Bill.

The Bridge Inn Brough
I was born in the Bridge Inn, Main Street, Brough, Westmorland, on December 6, 1927. My mother recalls the weather to have been very stormy with heavy falls of snow. My father, William Norman Stell, was the manager of the inn & the licencee was his mother, Elizabeth Ann Stell. My mother was Sarah Martha Stell & had two other sons, John Walter Stell & William Norman Stell ,aged 6 & 4, who went to the local school. My father was a talented pianist & also ran a band. We moved to Durham City in 1930 where my father & mother were stewards of the Conservative Club.
In both photographs the very substantial building on the left is clearly the Bridge ...read more here

Church where grandparents married
My grandparents, William Delaney and Phoebe Heighton were married here. The Delaney family lived in Burton for several generations. I believe Phoebe worked for the Misses Wilson prior to her marriage. They moved to Australia a few years after their marriage. I visited from Australia in 1980s and was delighted to find charming little church intact and loved.

Howgill Parish Church
Visited church and local area to see for myself where my ancesters lived over one hundred years ago. They were Robert Gibson and his son, also called Robert, both of them farmers. I first discovered Howgill and Sedbergh back in 2002 and was amazed by its beauty and peacefulness. This area has made a lasting impression on me that I shall never forget and I will always regard Howgill as my special place.
Extracts From Appleby & South Humberside books
This view from the church tower looks
towards the wooded slopes of High Guards
and up the valley of the Yewdale Beck.The
whitewashed cottages of the village cluster
around the church where the Yewdale Beck
enters to the western side of Coniston Water.

The proprietress of Taylforth’s Hotel (left), in the main street of
Eamont Bridge, stands outside to bid farewell to a guest departing
in a pony and trap.The photographer would certainly not be able
to set up his tripod in the middle of the same street today!
An extract from from"Lake District Pocket Album".
Eamont Bridge, just south of Penrith on the A6, takes its name from
this splendid three-arched bridge across the River Eamont. It is perhaps
best known for its two prehistoric monuments: King Arthur’s Round
Table, a Bronze Age henge, and the former Neolithic stone circle and
henge at Mayburgh, of which only one standing stone now remains.
An extract from from"Lake District Pocket Album".
The Troutbeck valley is one of the quietest in
the Lake District, and in this view, taken from
the old coach route between Windermere and
Penrith, the essentially rural nature of much
of the district can still be appreciated. The
white-painted farmhouse in the valley was
probably occupied by one of the district’s
famous ‘statesmen’ farmers.
An extract from from"Lake District Pocket Album".
The name of this small settlement on the slopes of Wansfell Pike
between Windermere and the Kirkstone Pass means exactly what it says
—‘the trout stream’—and it stands above a stream with the same
name. At the south end of the village is Townend, a typical Lakeland
statesman’s house, now in the care of the National Trust.
